EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite fresco titled "Allegory of May: haymaking" by Francesco del Cossa, a renowned Italian artist from the 15th century. The artwork is housed in Palazzo Schifanoia, located in Ferrara, Italy. The image depicts a scene filled with vibrant colors and bustling activity. In this allegorical representation of May, we witness the laborious process of haymaking during harvest season. A group of workers can be seen diligently gathering sheaves of wheat and stacking them high on a wooden cart. Their hard work symbolizes the importance of agriculture and highlights the significance of manual labor during this time. Amidst the busy scene, a majestic tree stands tall as if overseeing the entire process. Its branches reach towards the sky, providing shade to those toiling beneath it. A donkey patiently waits nearby, ready to transport the harvested crops once they are gathered. Francesco del Cossa's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he captures not only the physical aspects but also infuses his work with an allegorical meaning that transcends time. This print allows us to appreciate his skillful craftsmanship while immersing ourselves in an era long gone. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our connection to nature and how human effort intertwines with its cycles throughout history. It serves as both a celebration and homage to those who have dedicated their lives to cultivating our lands for sustenance and prosperity.
